🔪 How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip

Preheat oven to 375°F.  

In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and whip up using a hand mixer.

Add in the heavy cream, chicken stock, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.  Continue mixing until combined.

Add in the chicken, ham, Gruyere cheese and parsley.

Then toss until everything is mixed and well coated.

Pour the mixture into a 9 x 9 casserole baking dish that's been sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray. 

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 20 minutes.  Increase the temperature to 450°F and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Serve with cut veggies or low carb crackers.

💡 Tips for Making Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip

• Room temperature ingredients: Let the cream cheese and heavy cream sit out for a bit before mixing. This helps everything blend smoothly without any lumps, creating that creamy texture you want in the dip.

• Finely chop the ham and chicken: Smaller pieces ensure that you get a bit of ham and chicken in each bite.

• Shred your own cheese: Shredding your own Gruyere and mozzarella gives the dip a smoother melt and richer flavor, because pre-shredded cheese often has anti-caking agents that can affect the texture.

• Whip the cream cheese well: Whipping the cream cheese with a hand mixer before adding other ingredients helps create a light, airy texture that makes the dip extra creamy.

• Adjust baking time for your oven: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the dip as it bakes. Once the cheese on top is melted and golden, it’s ready to come out.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Allow the dip to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dip in an oven-safe dish and warm at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until warm.

Freezer: While this dip can be frozen, the texture may change slightly due to the cream cheese. To freeze, let the dip cool, then place it in a freezer-safe container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. I recommend serving this dip when freshly made.

🍴 What to Serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip

• Veggies: This dip is amazing with red bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas, broccoli, and cauliflower florets.

• Crackers and chips: Serve it with these 4-Seed Crackers, homemade Pita Chips, Ranch Crackers, or homemade Tortilla Chips.

• Bread: Whipped gooey dip makes a flavorful spread for toast made with this Herb Bread, these Bagels, or your favorite type of crostini.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Gruyere cheese: Substitute with Swiss cheese for a similar nutty flavor or use a mix of Swiss and mild cheddar for a slightly different taste.

• Mustard: Yellow mustard or whole grain mustard can be used in a pinch, though the flavor will be a bit milder.

• Bacon: Crumbled cooked bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor that pairs well with the ham and chicken.

• Green onions: Add a sprinkle of sliced green onions on top after baking for a bit of freshness and a pop of color.

• Red pepper flakes: For a slight kick, mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes with the cream cheese mixture.

• Spinach: Stir in a handful of chopped fresh spinach before baking for extra color and texture without overpowering the flavor.

Can I Make This Dip Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip up to a day in advance. Assemble it in the baking dish, cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, just bake it as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken in This Recipe?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a great option and saves time. Just make sure to finely chop or shred it so it blends well with the other ingredients.

Do I Need to Cover the Dip While Baking?

No, it’s best to bake the dip uncovered. This allows the cheese on top to melt and turn golden, giving it that delicious, bubbly texture.

Can I Add Breadcrumbs for a Crispy Topping?

Yes, adding breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds on top before baking can give a nice crunch. Just sprinkle them on after the first 20 minutes of baking, then return the dish to the oven for a few minutes to brown.
